Our Team: Board Co-Vice President, The Rev. Sandra L. Strauss

Why do the LIPW board members get involved, and stay committed to the peace minded work we do?

From Board Co-Vice President, The Rev. Sandra L. Strauss:

I’m honored to be a part of LIPW because we believe peacemaking means much more than preventing war. As a policy person working at the state level in an ecumenical context, I believe we won’t achieve true peace without addressing the scandals of poverty and racism-conditions that result in violence in our communities because they deny the humanity of our neighbors. LIPW works to build understanding and spur action — a great model for all who are seeking to achieve peace in our world.
